The difference is that the original code was called by debian-installer and the new code is called in sbin/init, which has a different context. Can the following sbin/init code be moved to lib/debian-installer.d/S30term? if [ $TERM_TYPE = "serial" ]; then for i in 2 3 4 5; do rm -f /dev/vc/$i done fi This seems to solve the detection problem for me. Do you really need to delete the extra vc devices? -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
